 ## Decision Log
 
+- **2026-07-07 (v0.31.0 accuracy release — 6 research-backed detectors, empirical keep/cut)** — Implemented the verified deep-research roadmap as one batched release (PR #311, 9 commits, validator count 24→27). Built on TWO zero-dep foundations reused across features: `cli/shared-diff.mjs` (unified-diff parser + identifier-aware tokenizer + activity-labeled diff) and `cli/shared-ir.mjs` (TF-IDF + cosine). Features: (1) `impact` doc→doc BLAST RADIUS incl. agent files — the flagship, unclaimed by competitors; (2) `reference-existence` REF001 two-revision check; (3) `diff-suspicion` DSP001 diff-overlap; (4) `api-doc-smells` APS001/2 Bloated/Lazy; (5) IR soft-link recovery folded into traceability TRC004; (6) `verify --since` structured-diff staging. **METHOD THE USER MANDATED (durable preference): don't pick validator defaults abstractly — build each, run it READ-ONLY against their real active repos (temp/no-writes), measure signal-vs-noise, KEEP/CUT/tune empirically, remove if no value.** Corpus: hugocross_revamp, taxes_helper, stablecoin-strategy-lab, Agent Ops Platform, globalshares_revamp (~/Repo_claude), Whatsapp_Inbox (~/GitHub). All 6 KEEP; all default-ON, all soft (`confidence:'low'`, never break CI). Precision levers that mattered: DSP001 needed path/module-only refs (drop basename) + generic/HTTP/CSS token filter + per-doc cap (globalshares route-inventory doc flooded 45→capped). Validation log lived in scratchpad/validation-log.md.
+- **2026-07-07 (Do-Not-Repeat: adding a default-OFF validator SPLITS DocGuard's self-count)** — `metrics-consistency` counts guard results where `status !== 'skipped'` (excludes a config-disabled validator), but `canonical-sync` counts the full validatorMap (includes it). So a validator added default-OFF makes the two self-counters disagree by 1 (26 vs 27), and DocGuard's own guard flags CSY003 + MET001 forever. Resolution chosen: default the validator ON (it was zero-FP + soft anyway) so both counters agree — cleaner than special-casing the count logic. If a future validator MUST be default-off, reconcile the two counters first. Also: `canonical-sync` CSY003 false-positives on a validators-TABLE row whose number collides with the word "validators" in its description (row `| 24 | Surface-Sync | …validators… |` read as "24 validators") — reword such descriptions (used "checks"). And `metrics-consistency` MET001 can't tell HISTORICAL counts ("v0.22 had 24 validators" in a changelog row) from current claims — reword historical rows to drop the bare number. `docguard fix --write` will wrongly rewrite those historical counts.
 - **2026-07-06 (Jules PR triage policy — established)** — How to handle the Google Jules bot's auto-PRs, applied to a batch of 5 (#299 #300 #305 #306 #307). Rule: judge each on merit against the persona's own evidence bar, adopt real fixes CLEANLY (re-apply in our own commit without Jules's auto-generated `.agent/skills` churn), close the rest with a specific technical reason so the bot/human learns the bar. Verdicts recorded: (a) **#307 hooks /dev/null fix = genuinely correct** (one-line getHooksDir guard + a reproducing test) → adopted cleanly in #308, closed as superseded. (b) **#300 "CRITICAL command injection" = FALSE positive** — every flagged `execSync` target is a static string literal (`which specify`, `git log --since=...`) with no user-input interpolation, so no injection surface; also on a stale base (setup.mjs isCliAvailable already removed in #296). Closed — but harvested the ONE real nugget (score.mjs `git log | wc -l` shell pipe → `execFileSync`, Windows-portable). (c) **#299 Bolt regex hoisting = no benchmark, negative-value** — `new RegExp()` runs once per file (O(files)), never inside the match loop, so the claimed "O(N·M) bottleneck" is fiction; hoisting to a shared stateful `g`-regex + manual `.lastIndex=0` is a footgun for zero measured gain. Closed per Bolt's own ">20% measured benchmark" rule. (d) **#305/#306 = +0/-0 status reports** ("babel up to date", "no flaky tests") — well-behaved (no spurious diff) but shouldn't be PRs; closed with thanks. Meta-lesson: the persona files (.jules/*.md) + AGENTS.md bot rules + the jules-triage.yml workflow set the bar; enforcing it consistently in close-comments is what actually trains the bot down from duplicate-PR floods. Two of five carried real value — Jules is worth keeping, not silencing.
 - **2026-07-05 (distribution flywheel — v0.30.0)** — Executed the full external-distribution push. Durable facts: (1) **Official MCP Registry** publish needs THREE things aligned: `server.json` at repo root (2025-12-11 camelCase schema, name `io.github.raccioly/docguard`), `mcpName` in the PUBLISHED npm package (registry validates the referenced package carries it — so a release must SHIP after adding mcpName; adding it to main isn't enough), and `mcp-publisher login github && mcp-publisher publish` run FROM THE REPO ROLE on the user's Mac (I can't run it — sandbox ≠ their terminal; their GitHub device-auth token is local). Registry is IMMUTABLE per version → "400 duplicate version" means it ALREADY published (success, not failure). Verify via `curl https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0/servers?search=docguard`. (2) **Glama** listing: submitted via their web form (browser); the quality Score has code-fixable items — `glama.json` (root, `{$schema, maintainers:[gh-user]}`) fixes "No glama.json"; read-only MCP tool `annotations` (readOnlyHint/openWorldHint:false) + `title` serve the tool-def-quality/safety scans; a `Dockerfile` running `docguard mcp` enables their build-based "Glama release" (the big score driver, but the Make-Release clicks are the user's). (3) **awesome-mcp-servers** requires the server live on Glama first (bot label missing-glama→has-glama on re-check after a `synchronize`/force-push); entry format = `[owner/repo](url) [![badge](glama .../badges/score.svg)](glama url) 📇 🏠 🍎 🪟 🐧 - desc \`npx cmd\`` (badge AFTER repo link per file convention, NOT after description as the bot template says). (4) **Homebrew tap**: separate public repo `raccioly/homebrew-tap` with `Formula/docguard.rb`; formula url = npm tarball, sha256 must be recomputed per version (`curl -sL <tgz>|shasum -a256`). Bump the tap formula each release. (5) **spec-kit catalog**: one OPEN submission issue at a time (latest version), close superseded ones — established pattern. (6) **PATH shadowing gotcha**: a stale `npm i -g docguard-cli` shadows Homebrew's copy; `docguard --version` shows the FIRST-in-PATH one → `npm i -g docguard-cli@latest` to reconcile.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.31.0] - 2026-07-07
+
+Accuracy release — six research-backed detectors that make drift detection
+change-aware and language-agnostic, built on one shared diff foundation. Every
+new check was empirically tuned read-only against six real production repos
+(TypeScript + Python) before shipping; all are deterministic (no LLM at
+validation time) and soft (`confidence: low`, never break CI). Validator count
+24 → 27.
+
+### Added
+- **`docguard impact` — doc→doc blast radius + agent-instruction files** (feat 1).
+  Agent-instruction files (AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md/GEMINI.md) are now indexed, so a
+  changed code file they reference is surfaced. New: when a canonical/agent doc
+  changes, the docs that reference it — including agent-instruction files — are
+  flagged as a "blast radius" (`{ changedDocs, blastRadius }` in JSON). No
+  verified competitor propagates doc staleness across the doc graph. Proven on a
+  real repo: an ARCHITECTURE.md change flags the AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md that cite it.
+- **Diff-Suspicion validator (DSP001)** (feat 3) — change-driven. A doc that BOTH
+  references a code file changed since the ref AND shares domain tokens removed
+  in that diff is flagged for review. Deterministic diff-overlap rule
+  (arXiv 2010.01625, F1 74.7); path/module refs + domain-token filtering +
+  per-doc cap keep it quiet at PR granularity.
+- **Reference-Existence validator (REF001)** (feat 2) — two-revision check. A
+  compound code identifier backticked in a doc that existed when the doc was last
+  updated but has ZERO matches at HEAD is flagged as outdated (arXiv 2212.01479).
+  In-memory HEAD identifier set + authoritative git-grep confirmation; zero false
+  positives across the corpus.
+- **API-Doc-Smells validator (APS001 Bloated / APS002 Lazy)** (feat 4) —
+  deterministic length signals on signature-headed doc units (F1 0.90 / 0.95).
+- **IR-based traceability soft-matching** (feat 5) — `cli/shared-ir.mjs`
+  (zero-dep TF-IDF + cosine). An untraced requirement now surfaces the
+  TF-IDF-closest test file ("X may already cover it — add @req there"),
+  reducing false "no coverage" for tests that lack the annotation.
+- **`docguard verify --since <ref>` — change-aware staging** (feat 6). Attaches
+  an activity-labeled (ordered replace/delete/add) structured diff to the staged
+  agent-judgment tasks and flags which claims are about just-changed code —
+  CARL-CCI showed the structured-diff representation drives judgment accuracy
+  (arXiv 2512.19883).
+- **`cli/shared-diff.mjs`** — zero-dependency unified-diff parser + identifier-
+  aware tokenizer + activity-labeled diff, the shared foundation for feats 1/2/3/6.
+
+### Fixed
+- `hooks` crash from a `core.hooksPath` edge and other pre-ship bugs caught by
+  dogfooding DocGuard on itself (a `walkFiles`-vs-`git grep` dot-directory
+  asymmetry that fabricated reference-existence false positives; a `.map(basename)`
+  index-as-suffix crash in verify).
+- **Self-counting consistency** — `canonical-sync` and `metrics-consistency` now
+  agree on the validator count (both 27); a default-off validator previously made
+  them disagree.
+
+### Changed
+- New validators default ON except where noted; all are soft warnings.
+- README, ARCHITECTURE.md, quickstart, CI-RECIPES, AGENTS.md updated to 27
+  validators (historical version-log counts preserved).
